Just into a book on wolves where the author claims the most wolves in Canada are in southern Ontario, by which I assume he means north of Toronto, not the Ontarian view of the world. :) Tough to believe and I take it with a grain of salt. :confused:

Yup, hard to see how that's true, unless he is referring to a specific type of wolf, ie the red or grey wolf.

I imagine there are large numbers of timber/arctic type wolves in the rest of Canada, dwarfing the numbers of wolves here.
 
just because its written.... I'll never forget the survival book I read that said when needing food in an emergency dig a deep pit and throw corn in it then wait for the geese to land in the pit and throw a sheet of plywood over them. Anyone think this guy did any research?
ps only get lost in the wilderness when carrying a sheet of plywood a lot of corn and a shovel during geese migration time and routes.... common knowledge really.
 
I've seen one on Ontario's west coast, a fair number in eastern Ontario, Ottawa Valley specifically and a bunch on Lake Superior around Wawa. Been surrounded by wolves near Burke's falls. But not in any danger. I was in my tent trailer and I got the royal concert.

There are a few wolves around here, but most? not very likely. What's he calling southern Ontario?
 
Northwestern Ontario has a huge population of grey wolves, getting quite out of hand here. I see them on my lawn and in my field almost daily. Haven't hunted once in the last few years without seeing at least one per day.
 
i thought of it as south of parrysound ....

lots of wolves up north ... usta see them all the time when i was skidooing ( not the brush wolves ) but the bigg ones !

I think it changes over time. Muskoka used to be considered in Northern Ontario.

From what I have read on wolf studies across North America, the highest density recorded is in the Algonquin areas. Could be higher elsewhere, but there is no data to prove it so far.

Just looking at a map of North America and studying the vastness of our northern portion of our provinces & territories I find the Algonquin statement quite hard to swallow.

just saying
 
Perhaps the claim is "most wolves per (unit of area)"? Do wolves in Ontario have smaller hunting ranges than in other areas of N.America, resulting in greater concentrations?
